Hot Tea across India

Hot Tea across India

On Rishad Saam Mehtaâ€™s journeys â€” and as a travel writer and all-round road-trip junkie, heâ€™s been on many â€” thereâ€™s a particular thing he noticed. Thereâ€™s not a highway, road or dirt track in India where you canâ€™t find a cup of chai whenever you want it. And with those cuppas come encounters and incidents that make travelling in India a fascinating adventure. In this riveting book, which includes stories of honey- and saffron-infused tea shared with a shepherd in Kashmir, and a strong brew that revives the author after almost getting lynched by an irate mob in Kerala, Rishad takes you across the length and breadth of India, from Manali to Munnar, from the Rann of Kutch to Khajuraho, with a wonderful combination of wit, sensitivity and insight.
